How to get more leads for your pest control business

Working out how to get more leads for my pest control business usually means two things: getting more termite inspections, and getting general pest customers to come back every year.

By Ben Raymond · · 6 min read

Pre-purchase inspections

Buyers need timber pest inspections before they buy, and they're often told who to use by a conveyancer, a building inspector or an agent. A fast turnaround and a clear written report gets you recommended again.

Annual treatments

Most general pest treatments wear off over time. A reminder before the warranty runs out, timed for the season the pests come back, brings customers back without another search.

Termite protection

Termite inspections often lead to barriers, monitoring systems and ongoing checks. Those are the jobs that build a pest control business, and they start with inspections booked from searches and referrals.

Seasonal pushes

  • Spring: termites, ants and spiders.
  • Summer: cockroaches and wasps.
  • Autumn and winter: rats and mice moving inside.

Commercial work

Food businesses, aged care and childcare need regular pest control and the paperwork to prove it. Commercial contracts are slower to win but steady once you have them.
